I have a new boss who was hired today. Well, I guess he's supposed to be a 2nd in command to my current supervisor, but I still have to report to him too I guess.
This dude is a high-sodium seasoned dev, and the kind who thinks anyone who's been in the industry less than 15 years should be at best a test engineer or thrown into the 7th ring of Customer Support.
Ugh. I'm now out of gin, which was my backup to my scotch. And this prick expects me to have a PR ready for him to review on a whole new application I've been working on for the last 2 weeks by midday tomorrow. And today was his first day.4 -
I’m getting good at cooking. The fucking marvel that salt does when I leave salted chicken for a few hours or overnight is something else.
It feels that this already made anything I make around 50% tastier. The hard part is keeping it to a very low minimum to have a reasonable amount of sodium. The other day I had some thin chicken breast slices that were left salted for a few hours, then I cooked them in unsalted butter with a modest amount of pepper and herbs.
And I’ve just read a few pages of the damn book, I’m so excited for the rest.11 -
really surprised Gatorade isn't sued because it actually basically has no electrolytes in it and it wouldn't rehydrate you
but it's known for it, it advertises it on the damned bottle
but it has no goddamned electrolytes (or rather the things we consider electrolytes when humans say you need more electrolytes)
because citric acid "can conduct electricity" it has electrolytes!
but you specifically need potassium, magnesium, sodium, calcium 😒
they do have some sodium and a TEEEENY totally insignificant amount of potassium. and a SHITTON of instant sugar.
I impulse bought some on a sale because my blood pressure was so bad I was gonna drop at the hospital which were unhelpful twats, and it helped I think simply because I was in such such such a bad state (and the doctors just telling me I'm pregnant instead of checking me was pretty fucked up, too), but to restore balance to my body I need something else that doesn't give me fucking diabetes because it "rehydrates" wtf
and citric acid fuck who knows what happens to that. it has no potassium, magnesium, sodium, or calcium molecules in it. which I figured maybe it got decomposed into them but nada
I was at the pharmacy and spotted a bottle specifically claiming "electrolytes" right beside the pharmists and it similarly had no actual electrolytes and instead citric acid and a bunch of weird flavouring shit. how can these people sell this garbage. humanity is disgusting. they should be sued11 -
I have being working on a project with server side using PHP. My dev environment is XAMPP on Debian. PHP is 7.3.10. So.... no MCrypt. Documents said that a new kid called Sodium is in town but php said he doesn’t know this guy...
I have no encryption library...14 -
This is not dev related but oh man after 2.5 years i heard back from them that they apologize and so i apologize them back for being rude. So here goes the story:
It was my first time visiting my father in law's aunt by myself for some specific reason that i forgot (perhaps maybe about fixing her son's motorcycle, but im not sure). Short story, when the job's done i was invited to dinner and they came out about all of their food is organic, i asked why. And they answer they didn't like chemical processed food, then i instantly said somethings like : "well do you put Natrium(Sodium in english) Hydrogen Carbonate in my cake?" And they looked a bit irritated and said "of course not, i wouldn't.why would i poisoned you" And i replied "hahaha i was messing with yall, but yeah i think you put NaHCO3 hahaha" And i instantly got kicked out. And i haven't heard them back until now. And they figured it out it was Baking Powder. It's not directly to me tho, they sent their apologize thru my mom. But still. I haven't laugh a lot for a while 🤣4 -
Funny how I sat here watching a fictional depiction of a police interrogation and it made me doubt that I know they are not effective against a specific group of people who plan everything in advance even creating or recruiting their victim ahead of time in a group activity so everything adds up.
And then also this allows collaboration with dirty cops. And of course polygraphs are inadmissible.
Thank God at least once they commit their crimes the story imprisons them. In the story.
But being a purist I was thinking how just knowing they lie is not really enough. Determining who coached them who they were in contact with how they were hooked up with them etc and what the organizational graph looks like is needed.
And even a socially retarded, nasty little empty hearted, soulless piece of garbage can stonewall away the tragedy that claims an innocent life against the background of a system that is supporting them and causes them to feel camaraderie with other more sophisticated monsters.
So then I think. A pair of skinning knives and an ekectric hand crank generator and a cauter might work better than sodium penithol was fabled to do.
So.
When a real person dedicated to justice and dedicated to the war against monsters is confronted with the truth of said monsters
And they laugh
And smirk
Or hide behind shallow masks of innocence my question is thus.
If a man so gentle and kind as I began and mostly remain can be tempted towards this
What does an angry man whose seen even more than I have whose hate for monsters burns endlessly because it's constantly fueled by exposure feel ?
In the end
Remember monsters
You think hurting something small and weak and innocent or simply alone and naive and lying makes you strong ? Makes you a big bad monster?
We're everywhere, and our hatred burns white hot. And when we explode we don't hunt weak innocent things that can't fight back. We hunt things that no one could ever pity and the death of which makes the world better.
And best of all because of this bullshit some of us can pass the polygraph even the next day. -
<p>Do you know how clean tap water is? The answer to that question largely depends on where you live, but thinking about it is always a good idea. Drinking water is often contaminated with organic compounds, minerals, chlorine, and chemicals left over from the water treatment process. If you need cleaner water, the easiest way to do this is to get a filtered jug. This guide of <a href="https://womenselections.com/best-wa...">what is the best water filter pitcher</a> will help you find the best water filter jug for your needs and budget.</p>
<p>Filtered launchers are very diverse. To help the reader, we limit ourselves to a few outbreaks through testing and research. We tested various models ourselves, we examined a large number of launcher classifications and confirmed our own findings.</p>
<p><a href="https://ibb.co/19CRS7S"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/55Qs7G7/..." alt="best-water-filter-pitcher" border="0" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Water filter pitcher filter type</strong><br />The filter jug comes with various types of cartridges. Typically, only one type of cartridge can be used, so you cannot select the desired cartridge. The exception is if you select a brand that offers a choice between two cartridges. Each of these cases has its advantages.</p>
<p><strong>Carbon filtration</strong><br />Most cartridges use carbon and are particularly effective at filtering chlorine and its by-products, such as TTHM. These cartridges contain blocks of solid carbon or granular activated carbon (also called activated carbon). In both cases, carbon usually comes from coconut shells, but it can also be made from coal, brown coal, wood, or oil pitch. Carbon can be physically or chemically activated.</p>
<p>There are two ways to physically activate carbon. One is to heat the carbonized material to 450-900 degrees Celsius in an inert atmosphere. Usually nitrogen or argon is present. Alternatively, the manufacturer may use oxidation. In this case, the material is typically heated to 1200 degrees Celsius and exposed to oxygen.</p>
<p>Chemical activation involves the injection of various chemicals into the material. The most common chemicals are hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, zinc chloride, calcium chloride. These chemicals facilitate carbon activation. This means that the process takes less time. However, the material must be heated to 450-900 degrees Celsius.</p>
<p>As the water passes through the cartridge filter, the carbon absorbs liquid and gaseous impurities. Due to the highly porous surface and physical form of activated carbon, one gram has an absorbent surface of 32,000 square feet. Still, it becomes saturated with impurities. If this occurs, you will need to replace the cartridge.</p>
<p><strong>In the conclusion</strong><br />If you are considering buying a pitcher filter as the only filter in your home, you should know what your water contains before you buy it. Today, many launchers have successfully removed most of the harmful contaminants. On the other hand, there are still bottles that can only filter out basic contaminants. As always, I recommend that you test your water before purchasing a pitcher.</p>
<p>Whatever it is, healthy water should always be a priority. I hope my comments, suggestions and guidelines will help you buy the best <a href="https://arizonawet.arizona.edu/user...">water filter pitcher review</a>. However, if you don't think the launcher is a viable option and have considered all of the options, please feel free to visit our website. He uploaded many other honest reviews like this. I am sure you will find the best option.</p>
